CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico - At least 17 people were killed in drug-related violence in northern Mexico this weekend, nine of them in restive Ciudad Juárez, the state attorney general's office said.

In Mexico's crime capital Ciudad Juárez, which is just across the border from El Paso in the southern US state of Texas, gunmen opened fire on Saturday and killed three young students at a used car dealership.
